Lovely walk through and around the perimeter of this park. Taking in the Botanic gardens and the old Littlewoods building. Now a ruin. Plenty of tarmaced paths to avoid trip hazards. You need to leave the park to walk around the perimeter to see it all but very nice and pleasant. Lots of fine architecture to look at along the way.
